On a talent tip, the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna fail to hold a light to Lady GaGa.
Alas, thanks to a number of well publicised creative missteps in 2011, the ‘Paparazzi‘ hit maker now finds herself tasked with crawling back on the pedestal the success of debut album ‘The Fame’ handed her in 2008.
Now, she finds herself in the shadows of the chart-rocking ladies above.
Disagree?
Read the singer’s recent interview with ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ where she discussed the high standard she was unable to reach with her latest LP ‘ARTPOP‘ last year, and how and why she feels she “crashed.”
Where this honesty can be found?
Below…
I felt like people were holding me to a pretty high standard.Everybody’s hooting and hollering because, you know, I didn’t sell 20 million records this time, which I did with my first album. And you know, it’s not easy to replicate that. And you just – I don’t have a formula. I have to make sure everything was okay. Because it wasn’t. You know, it’s one thing to put a train on the tracks. But it’s another thing to keep the train on the tracks. You can’t just let a train out on the tracks and just run it out… I crashed.

I respect her honesty. Doesn’t take away the fact that she’s talented tho. Not sure if she’ll
Ever be back on top as she was 6 years ago.
Slant Magazine gives Lady Gaga’s new album Cheek To Cheek 2 out of 5*!!!!
😀
They hail her new album…”glorified karaoke”. Thats so LOL!
Everthing she does is for FAME and MONEY. She also told her fans she wants their ‘souls’. i think she means that literally. she has successfully hypnotized millions of people into wearing ridiculous outfits, robotically repeating the same STUPID, NONSENSICAL LINES like ‘im a free b**** baby’, and she has also convinced people she is a musical genius. some are stupid enough to call her the ‘next michael jackson’. yuuuck! what a f****** insult. say what you will about the man, but one thing we cant deny is he was indeed a GENIUS. he had his fluffy pop songs, but they were legitimate songs that were safe enough to play on the radio.
Copying other artists is not a talent! Releasing EDM garbage is not a talent either. This copycat is so 5 years ago…
Yes – she’s trying so hard to be different it’s backfiring.
She’s a wannabe Grace Jones (who practically started these outgoing/crazy performances).
Gaga has to wear all that junk because she probably isn’t confident in her natural looks.
Lady gaga is a attention w****. Her songs are insipid and
redundant.She has all the appeal of a blow up doll.
There are a lot of tasteless morons out there, you can
tell by the people who defend this useless human being.
Obviously the only thing she could figure out to do in life
to make money other than becoming a hooker… was this.
Prancing around in stupid cloths, singing stupid songs to
a stupid audience.
I respect your honesty, it’s clear that with The Fame/Fame Monster she set the bar a little to high for herself.
**her
She didnt set anything. She has a team powered by marketing and just the flavour in that era. Of course she fired her manager and now she realizes she cant sell 20m albums now. Too late…now time to play the victim card!
i love gaga she hottt follow me on ask.fm @beykim
futureciara and Molly get dragged on twitter follow me on ask.fm @beykim
Honey no. You FLOPPED hard. Theres a difference. The standard was high, but it would not have been surprising if you didn’t do the Fame numbers. But you couldn’t even go PLATINUM! Im sorry but theres an excuse for everything with her.
gaga please, when you build your career on gimmicks and shock factor you will not see longevity, she thought she was the s*** when she came out, and didn’t humble herself, now people are bored and you’re gimmicks are boring, once you get to the top the only way is down (unless your beyonce) I hope this is a lesson learnt gaga, and you go away re-invent yourself and bring us an excellent FIERCE era
And Ultrafloplence is still not gold yet *sips tea*
Many ppl use gimmicks and still sell tho
Her issue is biting the hands that feed her
(Laurianne, Troy, etc)
A 2 million selling album is being on top? Beyoncé cannot top Adele.
longevity tho u sure Adele will sell 2 million in the us 15 years from now??? that how you should look at it
I appreciate her honesty …I actually thought ARTPOP was pretty good but I was still hoping or something like The Fame/Fame Monster that was her best body of work IMO…i liked her look the sound the promotion it was a really good vibe *plays so happy i could die* lol
Artpop was great but very polarizing. Applause was the only real commercial single. And the era was messy. She’ll slay hard next era tho.
B**** please
This is how we do still outside the top 20?
B**** u stan for a ghost what give u the audacity to come for Katy??????
Lady gaga is a very talented women, she’ll come back stronger than ever after this
I acknowledge flop who acknowledge theyre flops…#salutetogaga
FLOP…
Jobbie jabber
Da Fuq
She crashed because her Monsters are the most vile, juvenile and pathetic fanbase ever! And everyone hates them. Plus, Gaga is a garbage just like her fashion, music & art!
RIP
That is absurd. There´s no such thing as a large group of people who are and act the same. All fan bases have all types of people in them, just like all countries have all types of people living in them, etc.
She is no different than the last 20 teeny bopper superstars, aside from the fact that she TELLS her audience that she is unique, original and talented. Its main stream music and will hopefully fade away soon. There is real music out there where real musicians play real instruments and really sing. They stand on a stage with many speakers and wear regular clothes. These people form what are called rock bands. Thousands of shows and thousands of festivals are held in America every year where true fans who have listened to this music for 20, 30, 40 or more years come to socialize and listen to this gift. These people are friendly, kind and giving. They once were called hippies but now they just love the music that will always live on. Listen to the Grateful Dead.
Beyonce and Gaga > Rihanna or Katy, talent wise n power. No questioning about that.
To me, Artpop didnt flop, it underperformed, if sheo u want to compare it to its predecessors which made people have higher expectations with her sales.
Just like “4” which sold over 3M copies WW, but some people still called it flop, because in Beyonce’s standards from selling 8+M albums back to Ba ck,
, it is indeed a “Flop” (to them).
—
But artists like Rihanna can sell 3-4 Million Albums WW and their fans would act like it is on the list of RIAA’s best sellig albums of al time,
simply because their standards are LOW. L.O.W.
—
Gaga can still blaze a stage regardless of her commercial success, UNLIKE SOME.
Oop. Throw that shade !!
Yas!!
Although even katy is sellin more than rih now
I see no lies.
Surprisingly I agree with everything you just said. Beyonce and Gaga>>> the rest, in mainstream music (far from how great the true greats used to be though).
YAAAAZ Metzo!
Lets be honest here. Artpop was a flop. 4 was an underperformance because it still managed to go platinum and get a Grammy. Artpop hasn’t even sold 2 million WW.
She crashed due to the fact that her ARTFLOP was not an album of the millenium like she thought it to be. Time to retire and sing at lobbies and arenas across Vegas!!!!
Please retire, your clown outfits are getting old! 😆
Btw, Artpop is her worse album.
ARTPOP the worsr album of the decade or maybe in history of pop music. No thanks…she is too petty and too much bla bla bla. Time to take a break and pop out babies!
Yeah yeah right, but RiRi is the best thing out there right? LMAO
Well..at least Riri didnt pretend to be a musician n wear dead meat on her head walking around to sell tabloids! 🙁
No valid arguments whatsoever… typical absurd hater.
Dear Gaga, thrash wont last…
Monsters are the reason to blame. Stupid fanbase ever!
She is not quite original..thats why!
She wont get my money tht for sure.
Gimmick wont last…stop giving us excuse. Not a rocket science!
Only a kid with an IQ around 50 loves Gaga’s music!
Queen of Arenas cant even fill up stadiums in Australia n Dubai (UAE)!
Funny…. I know!
😆
Yet Justin timberlake and katy didn’t either
The only one who set the standard high was yourself Gaga. ‘Album of the millenium’ ring a bell? Then everyone just laughed when it failed. I don’t know about anyone else but I always said she peaked too early because her career blew up early for all the wrong reasons. I respect her as a talent though. Hopefully this taught her a lesson.
Lady Gaga is strong.
Yeah… Just like G.U.Y sales! 🙁
Lol
Who is checking her new single Flop To Flop!?
– look left n right-
Oh, the lady that let another lady puked on her chest on stage
Don´t you have a life LMAO
And u thought it was an art right? Lol
No I didn´t. I just didn´t care. Here for the music and talent. And she has it.
Artpop had some great songs that nobody was releasing at the moment, like Do What You Want for example. That´s the important thing, that she has lots of talent and gives us musicianship, performances and great videos.
About teh people talking about her collabo with Tony Benet: it´s not her damn next album, relax. It´s for Tony´s audience. And btw, the other pop girls her age could never do that.
She is writing a pop song…not high art for heave’s sake. Grow up, sis!
Hmm… you are talking to me because…
Awwww…poor Queen of Festivals named Gaga. Nothing could save her now. I guess nobody loves overrated garbage, huh?
Well, at least she realized it unlike her delusional fanbase who still thinks that she is on top like she was in 2010. They’re the main reason for her downfall. For proof look look at the meltdowns over a single negative C2C review from Slant.
A complete mess. They wouldn’t last a day stanning Katy/Bey/Lana.
R Kelly kills her career! Teaming with a s** offender is just a plain disgusting!
Flop nobody is checking this has been flop who discounts her albums to 99c
http://cdn.redmondpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Prism-Katty-Perry-Play-Music.png
SCREAMING!!!!!!!
She will pull through
Her shows in Australia & Middle East were not sold out. I rest my case..
99cents era is coming yall!!! Get your coins ready! 🙂
I don’t know why everyone Is avoiding the real tea. Lady Gaga’s last album that actually performed well was the fame monster. BTW only performed well because she sold it for 99CENT or you could use a EBT card or something. So Artpop was like a comeback album that did nothing but stay back in the retailers inventory. With that said I loved both of the albums but let’s not pretend Artpop was her only mistake.
Yet it had 4 top 10s , a sold out ww tour and multiple grammys noms?
Pitbull has four top tens, your point??? And her biggest hot from the album was a remake of Madonna’s express yourself.
I feel like crying now, I hope she makes a comeback!
Why can’t she just accept the fact that Artpop is a HORRIBLE album. That’s why you flopped, because the music was garbage. It’s that simple.
She’s a strong lady but ARTPOP was really horrible
I liked the 99 cent chanteuse circa 2010, “The Fame Monster” era and the tour was everything. Idk what happened to her after that era.
Lady Bla bla bla bla…
The album was terrible and people saw through her contradtion of ‘I only care about the art’, yet you release the most generic garbage music.
LADY GAGA IS A FICTIONAL, AMAZING CHARACTER that people created in their minds. she is no superwoman. all of her so-called talents are MEDIOCRE at best! SHE IS RIDICULOUSLY OVERRATED.
Can we please agree to stop pretending this empty bag is “interesting” and “provocative?” And for the love of GOD, what will it take to stop saying every new female “artist” is the “next Madonna?” I’m sorry but Madonna was tolerable at best so being the next Madonna is like being the next Bud Light.
Yeah, you heard me, Madonna really wasn’t that great. Compared to Lady Gaga, however, Madonna was f****** Johann Sebastian Bach. Compared to Madonna, Lady Gaga is simply Sebastian Bach.*
This woman is a joke. I have tried ignoring her and successfully have done so by not being around teenyboppers and not having cable tv. However, I got into an enviornment where there were teens,the internet, and cable and I instantly became disgusted once my niece started playing “Poker Face”. That Electro Pop genre is DEAD for a reason, stop trying to bring it back. And I hate the vast majority of Pop music anyway, I will be glad when it dies off completely. Gaga alone can’t keep it alive-take away the autotune and the outfits, and you have yourself another Britney Spears. Back in the day half of these Spears bashers were worshipping this used-to-be lolita s***, now they throw her away because “QUEEN GAGA has arrived!”. Pop fans are fickle little people, not very loyal because almost every popstar out since the 90s has been the same old regurgitated b******* wrapped in a different gender. All her songs sound the same when you get down to the point. There’s only so much you can do with Electro Pop-no wait, there is only so much SHE can do with it until it all starts sounding like a boring mix that you play at a lame raver club. Thankfully she can’t r*** my ears with her awful music.
WWWWWHHHYYYYYYYYY?????
‘
THE DRAG!!!!!
‘
SCREAMING!!!!!!!
Stick a fork in Gaga because she’s done…. WELL DONE!!
Her singles flopped, her album flopped and her tour belly flopped! I hear she’s strung out again too! Sad that her career didn’t even last five years. Meanwhile Katy is sitting on top of the world. 😆
Meanwhile katy is giving away her album for free
http://s7.postimg.org/9ot6j95ln/image.jpg
In addition to that scalping you just got, how’s this is how we do doing? Did it break that top 20 yet?
IDK how to feel about this weirdo right now, however, Paparazzi will forever a treasure of mine.
#3 number one hits in the USA….thats about it.
3 number one hits in the USA….thats about it and she playing in those basketball arenas. Sad…
So Lady, Stefani, Germanotta, Gaga, Mother, Anti-Bullying Champion whatever you want to be called, Monsters reflect you. If this you want out in this world of music…this is how you want to be perceived..carry on. Please continue wasting your time by making an album only for your vile and childish fans to enjoy it. As a “mother”….Lady Gaga, you are the worst example of a leader. You want a hype, go and Tweet your fans about a thing called…RESPECT and walk the talk. However, before you do that make sure you stop at the dry cleaner and pick your meat dress. You actually need that because 2-3 years from now, the only thing people will remember about you because of that dress. 🙁
The whole freaking Gaga act is a lie. That’s why she’s a disgusting p**.
The number of perfumes sold, the number of albums sold, the number of Twitter followers. Gaga is synonym of lie.
The problem is that now days people, especially young people like uneducated Monsters, take everything that the media throws at them as the truth. The media is no longer a reliable source of news. They manipulate the truth. Just look at Gaga Twitter. And young people are so damn lazy to look up history and realize that everything this p** does has been done before, and done better.
a lot of people here are hitting the nail right on the head. gaga was a FAD she was this hodgepodge mixture of the GREAT artists like David Bowie,Madonn . and Grace Jones and just becauseher vocals were cute,people coined her as “better”.SYKE!her ppremier was cute but you just stole from every madonna era and called it “my art”likr really? and then the gays fell for her false support hook and were down with her and she felt that would save her. just a mess
MADONNA’S P**** IS LOOSE!
It’s really sad because Gaga has more talent than Rihanna and Katy and they consistently overshadow her in album sales, hit singles, endorsements and marketability. Gaga only surpasses them in touring. ARTPOP actually could’ve been a huge seller. It was a much better album than Katy’s bubblegum pop PRISM and Rihanna’s uneven Unapologetic albums. Songs like Sexxx Dreams, Aura, Gypsy, Do What U Want, Applause, G.U.Y., Artpop and Venus could’ve been huge hits. ARTPOP was rushed out to compete with Katy and Miley and that’s a fact. Had Gaga and her tea actually taken their time with this era, she could’ve sold. Gaga lost that authenticity she had with The Fame and The Fame Monster. Those 2 records sold 15 million copies. Born This Way was a great album, but she tried to hard to be “epic” with that album and it backfired. Yeah it still sold 2.3 mil in the US and 5.8 mil WW, but it could’ve sold as much The Fame tbh and ARTPOP could’ve did Born This Way’s numbers
beyonce blah , rihanna blah, lady gaga blah
they all should bow down to adele who outsell them all for 3 years with a 4 year old ablum.
